My Alien Girlfriend

Summary

Chapter 1

Deep
in the dark depths of outer space on a planet called Zygot lived a teen alien
named Ashley Davies—who was currently annoying the crap out of her father
Raife.

A
small whine ripped through Ashley’s throat. “But dad I really want to go!” she
said, tugging on her father’s rubber spacesuit.

“Please!” She added for good
measure.

Raife
rolled his eyes. For the past hour and a half, his daughter had been begging to
be transported to that God-awful planet. He released a sigh, pinching the bridge
of his nose. “Ashley, why do you want to waste your time going to planet Earth?
There really isn’t much, for our kind, down there.”

Ashley
looked down at her rubber-covered shoes—rubber is all the rage on planet Zygot.
She peeked up at her father bashfully. “I want to find something I can’t find
up here,” Ashley said.

Raife
eyed his daughter with suspicion. “And what would that be?”

Confidence
slipping away with every passing second, Ashley could only shrug in response.

Raife
crossed his arms over his muscular chest, raising an intimidating eyebrow. “Ashley
Danielle 546 2733 55700 Davies, I asked you a question. I will not be ignored.”

Oh
no. It was never a good sign when her dad used her full birth name. She had better
answer now or she’ll be in deep shit, and unfortunately, on this planet, that’s
taken literally.

Raife’s
face turned red with anger. “You want to mate with a human?” he yelled with
disgust. “You can’t be serious!”

Ashley
shook her head. “It’s not just mating, daddy.” Her eyes lit up as she
continued, “I was in the Zygoteria yesterday when I overheard two aliens
talking about it. By human definition, love means a profoundly tender, passion
for another person, a feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection.”
Ashley smiled, clasping her hands together. “Love sounds wonderful, daddy!”

Raife
scoffed at his daughter’s words. “What’s wrong with our female species? You
can’t find this ‘love’ you speak of with your own kind?” He placed his hands on
his hips, watching her expectantly.

Ashley’s
scrunched her face up with disgust. “Daddy, everyone here is like family to me!
I don’t want to mate with one of our own!”

Unlike
the other occupied planets in space, Zygot was small. Not as small as Pluto and
those damn Plutonians though—by all accounts, that particular planet is full of
stuck up jerks. The Zygot planet wasn’t a breeding ground for incest or anything
like that, but the mating pool was tiny and not that appealing. Every Alien
knew every Alien’s business and the gossip could give even the trashiest
magazines a run for their money.

Raife
sighed, giving his daughter a sympathetic look. “Ashley, you know nothing about
the human world. It’s a lot more dangerous down there then it is up here. You
could easily get yourself hurt.”

Ashley’s
brow furrowed with confusion. “Daddy, my strength is two times that of an
average human. They are physically incapable of doing such a thing to me.”

Raife
shook his head. He pointed at Ashley’s chest where her two hearts were located,
“I mean here, Ashley. Your hearts could get hurt so badly that it wouldn’t
compare to any physical pain you’ve ever endeared.”

Ashley
grasped her father’s hand gently in her own. “I won’t get hurt daddy, I
promise.” She smiled up at him. “I’m eighteen zygots old. I think it’s time you
let me start handling things on my own.”

She
had a point. Although eighteen was considered young on Earth, in outer space it
was the opposite. All Aliens flew the nest at eighteen. Nest, of course, is the
slang word Aliens used to describe their space ship. In other words, when an
Alien turned eighteen they get to operate the controls and fly the nest. It was
a huge responsible with incredibly strict rules such as, no texting and flying.

Raife
sighed as he internally considered the pros and cons. “I don’t know, Ashley. You’re
taking a big step. I mean one minute you’re my little Martian and then the next,
you’re all grown up.”

Ashley
smiled at that. “You know I will always be your little Martian right, Daddy?” She
placed a comforting hand on his broad shoulder.

He
nodded with a small grin. After a quiet moment, he released a shaky sigh. Raife
gripped both of Ashley’s shoulders, looking her dead in the eyes. “Are you sure
you’re ready for this?”

Ashley nodded resolutely. “I am.”

Raife
stared hard at her for a long minute. Finding no traces of doubt in her eyes,
he stepped back and nodded. “Alright, I give you permission to journey to
planet Earth.”

Ashley
jumped with glee. “Thanks, daddy!” She threw her arms around him and squeezed
with all of her might, overcome with joy.

Raife
grinned, returning the hug. Releasing her, he immediately got down to business.
“Follow me,” Raife commanded, leading his daughter into his office where a
large computer console stood.

“Computer!” He yelled.

Humans
have Siri, Aliens have an all-knowing computer that can teleport you to other
planets—at half the price too.

“Yes, Master.” It responded.

Raife
crossed his arms. “Show me the solar system maps.”

His
request was granted. “What planet would you like to view, Commander Raife?”

Raife
cleared his throat, glancing at his daughter. She nodded encouragingly at him.
He tried to keep the distaste out of his words when he said, “Earth please.”

The
computer scrolled to the planet. “What country, Master?”

“Show me, USA.”

A
map of the United States flashed before them. Raife turned to his daughter and
looked at her expectantly. “Well Ashley, where would you like to teleport to?”

Ashley
moved in front of the screen, staring with slight bafflement. The Alien was
unfamiliar with human maps. Sure, young Aliens had studied them during Zygot
High School, but humans were so difficult with how they split their land. Why
couldn’t they live together as one? That’s what Aliens do on their respective
planets. It cuts down on confusion.

Ashley
scratched her head as she stared at the map. Everything looked like a square. “Um.
I want to go here.” She said, pressing her finger against one of the longest shaped
states

“You have chosen, California,
the Golden state.” The computer said as it flashed pictures of the state’s
flag, animal, and people. “What city would you like to choose?”

Looking over the list, Ashley
bit her lip in concentration. “Los Angeles, sounds like a caring and loving
town.” She thought aloud. “It even says it’s the ‘City of Angels.’ You can’t
get more kind than that,” Ashley said, tapping that city.

“You have chosen Los Angeles,
population, over twenty million. Founded in seventeen eighty-one. The city is
also known as La La Land.”

Ashley giggled. “That sounds
like fun.”

Raife
grunted with a raised brow. “It sounds ridiculous. Where do humans come up with
these names?” He shook his head. “Computer, show me a list of families who are hosts
for a foreign student exchange program.”

“Loading
family names … please wait.”

Ashley
titled her head curiously. “Daddy what’s a foreign student exchange program?”
They didn’t have those on Zygot.

“It’s
a program where a student
chooses to live in a foreign country to learn another language, culture,
customs, and other things.”

Ashley
nodded. “Why is it called an exchange?”

“They’re
called exchanges because it’s a swap of students between different countries.
You’ll be living with a family who will host you while their kid is being hosted by
another family in another country.”

“Oh,
I get it.”

Raife
turned towards the computer. “All we have to do is pretend that you’re a foreign
student, which technically you are, and slip you into a home.”

The
computer finished compiling a list. “Which family would you like to choose?” It
asked.

Not
wanting to waste too much time, Ashley pointed at a random name that said ‘Carlin’.
The computer chimed.

“You
have chosen the Carlin family. Carlin family has five members. Spencer Carlin, age seventeen, Glen Carlin,
age eighteen, Clay Carlin, age eighteen, Paula Carlin, age unknown, Arthur
Carlin, age forty.”

Ashley
nodded with a smile. “Sounds good.”

The
computer screen placed a red target over the Carlin house. “Please, step onto
the platform and prepare for your teleportation.” It said.

Raife
stepped up to his daughter, halting her movements. “Now, Ashley, there’s no
turning back from here, are you sure you want to go?” He gave her a hopeful
look, silently wishing she’d change her mind.

Ashley
squared her shoulders. “I’m positive.”

Raife
pressed on. “Humans are a lot different from us. They have different customs
and ways of life. Eating, drinking, driving…everything is different, do you
understand me?”

Ashley
nodded. “Yes I do.”

He
sighed in response. “Alright.” Raife said as he reached into his pocket and
handed Ashley a device she had never seen before.

Ashley
stepped back slightly, not wanting to touch the strange plastic contraption.
“Dad what’s this thing?”

Raife
pressed the device into his daughter’s palm. “It’s called a cell phone; humans
use it to communicate with one another.”

Ashley
sniffed the cell phone, eyeing it curiously. After a moment, she shrugged and
slipped it into her pocket, “What a strange way to talk to one another…”

“I’ve
had the device modified,” Raife continued. “There’s a special button on the
side that will allow you to correspond directly with me if you have to
alright?”

“Okay,”
Ashley said. She smiled up at her father and gave him a hug. “I’ll be fine,
Daddy,” Ashley whispered. Taking a deep breath, she stepped on to the
transmitter. As her body began to dissolve, she shot her father one last smile
before disappearing completely.

I like the back story Sin and Blair have together, knowing each other since children, I do like that there is no conflict so far, just the couple being happy doing somewhat domestic things, the scenes in high school grab my attention and I enjoy the atmosphere of scandal it gives. Just please do ...
